longwood
editSamuel Sloan, a Philadelphia architect, designed the home in 1859 for cotton planter Haller Nutt. Work was halted in 1861 at the start of the American Civil War. Nutt died of pneumonia in 1864, leaving the work incomplete. Of the 32 rooms planned for the house, only nine rooms on the basement floor were completed. Haller Nutt's never-finished Natchez home, Longwood, was the last burst of Southern opulence before war and the federal ban on enslaving people brought the cotton barons' dominance to an end. Longwood survived decades of neglect and near-abandonment to become one of Natchez' most popular attractions. It is very fun to go and tour Longwood. Longwood is owned and operated as a historic house museum by the Pilgrimage Garden Club; it is also available for rent. 71.132.228.48 (talk) 20:36, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
